Sanction Nnamdi Kanu’s lawyer for participating in protest - Presidential aide Bayo Onanuga

The Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, has called on legal regulatory bodies in Nigeria to sanction one of the lawyers representing the detained IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu, Aloy Ejimakor, for participating in the ongoing #FreeNnamdiKanu protest holding in Abuja today October 20. In a post shared on his X handle on Monday, October 20, Onanuga criticised Ejimakor for joining the demonstration organised by human rights activist and former presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore. According to the presidential aide, Ejimakor’s participation in the protest undermines legal ethics, given that Kanu’s case is still before a competent court. He wrote ‘’ I spotted Aloy Ejimakor, one of Nnamdi Kanu’s lawyers, among the small group of protesters mobilised in Abuja by Omoyele Sowore. I wonder what Mr. Ejimakor was thinking when he decided to join this shambolic protest. As a lawyer, he should be aware of the principle of sub judice, particularly in relation to the ongoing treason case before the court. The prosecution has concluded its case, and it is now incumbent upon Mr. Ejimakor and the other lawyers to mount a strong defence for Kanu. Rather than focusing on preparing a strong case, Mr. Ejimakor has resorted to extra-legal tactics, joining a career anarchist, to influence the process. Ejimakor’s action questions his adherence to professional ethics. Legal authorities should consider appropriate sanctions for the unethical conduct of the bearded lawyer.''

A new edition drops every Monday.  It is no longer news that Nigeria wants to collect tax on crypto proceeds. TechCabal has now learned exactly how it will work. If you spend $2,000 (₦2.93 million) on bitcoin in a year and sell it for $4,000 (₦5.86 million), your gain of $2,000 (₦2.93 million) will be subject to personal income tax. The first ₦800,000 ($545.82) of that profit will be tax-free, and the rest (₦2.13 million/$1,454.18) taxed at 15%, bringing your total payable tax to ₦319,704 ($218.13). "However, if you buy bitcoin at $2,000 (₦2.93 million) and sell iwt for $1,500 (₦2.19 million), you would have made a loss of $500, and under the new tax laws, you will owe nothing. Crypto profits are now subject to personal income tax." “The new law that will take effect in January 2026 will tax you if you make gains ...
